Winners.....plus YOUR opinion is needed!

(Scroll to the end and give us your opinion on the graphic!)

The bloghop puzzle was such a FUN game! We had some interesting guesses at the puzzle solution....we accepted either ANYHERO LETTERSor ANY HERO LETTERS as correct responses! Go check out the comments on the original blog post - several folks left some love for blogs they couldn't leave comments for during the hop. (By the way - sorry for all the blogger issues! Must have been too much mojo!)

Random.org drew #36, which was Pat....congratulations!! You've won the Yankee Doodle prize pack!

The YouTube drawing was won by Cherie!

And for all of you who asked - we'd love to sell items with OWH on them. But for the moment we don't have enough brainspace to deal with how all that works - there's not only creation/fulfillment but the tax implications and reporting that we don't know much about yet. But stay tuned! :)

If you didn't pick up the game pieces along the way, here they are in correct order:

And now....your opinion

We're revamping our OWH brochure, and wanted to add a graphic showing the process of how the org works. Are there things we're missing? Does this explain it well to newbies, without getting into confusing detail? Click on the image to make it larger!

Great gameboard concept I think I would simplify it some with fewer people. I had to read it more than once to match up the caption with the figures correctly. I am also not sure of the "include a gift" wording. It could be confusing and you may get physical gifts like socks or drink mixes instead of financial donations.

When I first saw the picture, I didn't know where to start because it looks like a continuous loop. I think it's the long arrow and its accompanying text across the top that causes the problem. Is that message even necessary? Then I had trouble matching some of the text with the corresponding activity. How about red text for the red people, blue text for the blue people, etc.? You've got a good start, and I think it will be a great graphic!

It's really great for all us visual folks ! The piece I've missed is where do we find the address for our "regional shipper" when we have our cards completed ?? Sorry if I've overlooked it some where :)

I had a hard time seeing where it started, and the first time I went through it went backwards. I wonder if my putting an arrow head on the other dotted lines (like on the last one) if it would be easier to follow.That's what I would do, where it says, "Boxes mailed to heroes" and "loved ones receive letters".

[Sorry]and I think "repair" should definitely stay. I don't think anything else needs to be added as far as information goes, because that's why the website is available and this is just a paraphrased graphic.Besides, all the necessary information will be in the brochure. That's the point of it, no?

I absolutely love the idea of this brochure. It is very visually appealing.

I do feel the eye flows to the "How OWH works" and that if possible reversing the order of the figures is a great idea!

When I read thru it, the things confusing to me were as mentioned above: where to start, what path was I following, the 'repair' word for the shipper duties, the green 'request for free cards' bubble.

As for the 'repair' word, I don't think it needs to be there BUT if you do, then maybe consider using the ";" after the word 'donation' to break up the thought process as you are reading it.

I wish the green bubble was 'going somewhere'. I don't know if I can explain what I mean except that I feel like it is hanging out there in limbo.

No matter how many of these posts you read, there will always be comments to change, adjust. You know what flavor you are going for! I would be happy to have these available at a card making party no matter what you decide!
